What 嵃 means

It is a variant of 嵃, a character for steep mountains. Taiwan Mandarin readings are yǎn for steep mountain terrain or imposing terraces, and yàn for a mountain name. Historical Chinese character dictionaries record variant forms: 《玉篇》, 《龍龕手鑑》, 《廣韻》, and 《集韻》. Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 is a character-encoding standard; Unicode keeps this form so conversion there and back can preserve the original entry. Text normalization, which standardizes equivalent text, can turn it into 嵃. The sequence 嵃︀ requests its variant glyph.
